A set of handy classes wrapping UIScrollView and CATiledLayer that aims to simplify displaying large images at multiple zoom scales. The classes and associated demo code should provide a good reference for how to implement CATiledLayer on iOS devices.
- Works on both standard and high resolution displays
- Only provide a single set of tiles; no need for double resolution @2x tiles
- Demo code and tiles included
- iOS 4+
- Handle zooming in both directions
- Advanced UIGestureRecognizer support
- Support for overlay views
- iOS 3 compatibility (it's possible using drawLayer:inContext:, but conflicts with UIGestureRecognizer support)
- Cut your large images into tiles with Tile-Cutter by Jeff La Marche.
- Subduing CATiledLayer by Matt Long (Cocoa is my Girlfriend)
- Apple Tech-Note Thread Safe UIKit Drawing (in iOS 4+) mentioned at WWDC 2010
- Tread safe objects in iOS4 UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext, UIImage, UIColor, UIFont
- Apple Documentation on Supporting High Resolution Screens
- Apple's View Programming Guide for iOS
- WWDC 2010 Session 104 - Designing Apps with ScrollViews
- WWDC 2011 Session 104 - Advanced Scroll View Techniques
